A disturbing video shared online appearing to show a dog submerged underwater at a Coconut Grove boat ramp is now at the center of a Miami Police investigation.<\/p>\n
The video, which NBC6 has blurred, appears to show a dog submerged in the water and tied to cinder blocks.<\/p>\n
The person who shared the video online also claims the dog was attached to a nearby sunken boat.<\/p>\n
Miami Police have not publicly said how the dog died, who owned it, or how long it may have been in the water, but the images have sparked outrage.<\/p>\n
“I think this is an incredibly cruel and inhumane act,” said Miami Commissioner Damian Pardo. “It’s incredibly disturbing because it’s sociopathic behavior.”<\/p>\n
Pardo said he immediately contacted police.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Miami Police said they are following leads to identify the person responsible.<\/p>\n
NBC6 was there as city crews removed the dog from the dock. The cinder blocks and rope seen in the video were still at the scene.<\/p>\n
“We have to do our best to investigate this as quickly as possible and bring the full authority of the law,” Pardo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A disturbing video shared online appearing to show a dog submerged underwater at a Coconut Grove boat ramp…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":427228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-427227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
